| I was dead in seas of sin and transgression, drowning. I was a slave in chains, possessed and enslaved by sin. Satan extended to me a tight rope from his causes. I committed evil deeds at sunset and sunrise. Sins invaded my flesh, then my bones and veins. I was a star in drifting, dazzling the world with brilliance. My car was exhausted from the intensity of crawling on the road. My companion on the road, no matter how unique you are, you will never excel. And the masses deafened me, whistling and croaking. How many tires were given away, then I threw them away, old. How many times have I been imprisoned, only to become more depraved. My conscience has become a desert, a thirsty land, abyssal. I need rain, pure and sufficient, like lightning.
